Mayor Karen Bass is scheduled to fly to Chicago Sunday where she will be among the speakers during the Democratic National Convention, discussing her relationship with Kamala Harris and how the vice president has delivered for Angelenos, youth and families across the nation.
Bass is set to speak Monday and return to Los Angeles Tuesday, according to her office.
Bass has known Harris since the mayor was speaker of the state Assembly from 2008-2010. Harris swore Bass into office as mayor in 2022.
Los Angeles City Council members Bob Blumenfield, Monica Rodriguez, Marqueece Harris-Dawson, Curren Price and Heather Hutt are also scheduled to attend the convention, which will run through Thursday, prompting cancellation of next week’s council meetings.
